Massively multicore processors will enable smarter computers that can infer our activities.

Intel recently demonstrated a new, low-power computer chip that will use as many as eight cores, or processing units. Expected in the second half of 2008, the new chip will increase the amount of data that a machine can process and enable more-realistic graphics. But Andrew Chien, the director of Intel Research, is looking beyond eight-core chips and into the range of terascale computing, in which machines with tens or hundreds of cores perform trillions of operations every second. Chien is working with computer scientists at Intel and at universities around the world to find the best uses for these future machines.


Chien is speaking at the Emerging Technologies Conference today about Intel's exploratory research projects. Technology Review caught up with him beforehand to ask about the chip maker's research goals.

^Right.
Now it will be possible to make more complex games. :)
Finally........Reality games

we are entering the world of MATRIX(THE MOVIE). all interface will be like that were there will be a 4-D environment and there we will require such monsterous PROCESSORS. everything will be a reality.

look at the good side, when 8 cores comes out, 2 cores and 4 cores prices will go down alot, then many peopple can afford 4 core

4D??? dude it is still only a belief.. not yet proven... and scientists belief it exists in deep space.. and we no one knows where that deep space might be!!!

Um? 4D? I thought it was only Length, Breadth and Depth (3D) :confused:

Maybe Time does count as 4th Dimension? Sheesh! Relativity :confused:

4th dimension is the smell.
Maybe some device to produce smell of burning rubber,flowers in garden. :)

Well now 1 GB RAM costs what 256 MB ram costed earlier so what are the people cribbing about ;)

And now , this 1 GB RAM has much much better performance than the earlier type so you get even more performance .

ooee eggman 4D is taken as time.
see this *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimension
even after reading A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME u didnt get it? :cool:

Guys u will see a Gigacore CPU in the future from Intel..

i read that in internet, dont remeber where...

Kilocore (1024 Cores)
Megacore (1024 KiloCores!)
Gigacore (1024 Megacores)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
